KCM miners’ condition improving as they remain on treatment
The miners who were injured during the cage tripping incident at the Konkola Deep Mining Project (KDMP) Number 4 Shaft are responding well to treatment and making tremendous improvements.
One of the miners is being evacuated to South Africa for specialist treatment in a critical but stable condition, while the other six who are in high spirits, will continue to receive treatment at the Konkola Mine Hospital in Chililabombwe.
KCM has continued to work closely with the Mines Safety Department and has reviewed and started to implement the department’s recommendations in order to facilitate the re-opening of the shaft and resumption of operations following the unfortunate incident.
Investigations have continued to ascertain the cause of the incident.
